Over the years there have been a number of drugs that have stopped,reversed and cured MS in that poor MS mouse! About 10 years ago, my wife took part in a clinical trial on such a drug that worked on the mouse. The medication ended up causing the death of one patient due to damage to the heart and that quickly ended the trial after about a year.
I wish press releases like this one were a bit more conservative in their comments. At the moment, nobody knows what actually causes MS and to come up with a vaccine that stops encephalitis in a mouse and then state it is possibly promising for MS in humans.....well, that's kind of stretching it!
